Step-by-step explanation:
let the common ratio be r
(x-6)r=(x-2)
(x-2)r=(x+10)
r = (x-2)/(x-6)
and r = (x+10)/(x-2)
so, (x-2)/(x-6)=(x+10)/(x-2)
sloving it, you'll get x=8
so the value of x is 8
Find the area and the perimeter of a triangle (shown below)
PLZZZ
Answer:
A = 120, P = 55
Step-by-step explanation:
Triangle
Area = (bh)/2
A = (20x12)/2
A =240/2
A = 120
Perimeter = a + b + c
to find c, use a^2 +b^2 = c^2
20^2 + 12^2 = c^2
400 + 144 = c^2
544 = c^2
c = about 23
20 + 12 + 23 = 55

When x + y = 30 and x < 13, which of the following must be true?
y = 30
y > 17
y = 17
y < 17
y > 30
Answer:
y>17
Step-by-step explanation:
[tex]x + y = 30 \\ 13 + y = 30 \\ y = 17 \\ for \: x < 13 \\ y > 17[/tex]
Answer:
y>17
Step-by-step explanation:
x+y=30
x<13
What + 13 is 30?
17. So if x+y=30. Because x will be less than 13, y must make up the differnce by being greater than 17.
Ex: x=12
y+12=30
y=18
18 is greater than 17.

Solve for b.
-32 + 10b = -22
Answer: b = 1
Step-by-step explanation:
= -32 + 10b = -22
-32 + 10 = -22
b = 1
Check: -32 + 10(1) = -22
= -22
Answer:
b=1
Step-by-step explanation:
Hello,
We would like to solve for b in the equation -32+10b=-22.
When we want to solve for a variable, we want to isolate it on one side (have it on one side by itself. No other numbers.)
So to start, add 32 to both sides to remove it from the left side (-32+32=0).
-32+10b=-22
+32 +32
______________
10b=10
Now, there isn't anything with 10b, but we want the value of b by itself (1b), as 10b is 10 times the value of what b is.
So divide both sides by 10
b=1
Hope this helps!

Combination with repetition
Permutation without repetition
Answer:
the third one: Combination with repetition
Step-by-step explanation:
it says there are any number of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters, so there is repetition. the order doesn't matter because it asks for the different sums, so it's a combination with repetition
"How many different sums of money exist if we can choose 4 coins from any number of pennies, nickels, dimes, and quarters?" is a Combination with repetition problem.
What is combination with repetition?A combination with repetition involves a multiset. A multiset allows elements to be repeated unlike an ordinary set.
Number of ways to select r things from n possibilities: C (n + r − 1, r)
Since he can choose any coin any number of time, repetition is there. Also, order in which coins are chosen is not important, thus it is a combination.
Therefore, the third option is correct. This is a combination with repetition problem.

HOPE IT IS HELPFULLY.Lisa is on the west shore of Mighty River, which is 1 mile wide and has two parallel shorelines running exactly north-to-south. She wishes to get to a point on the opposite shore that is 1 mile south of where she is now as quickly as possible. (So this point is sqrt (2) miles due southeast from her starting position.) Assuming that Lisa can walk twice as fast as she can swim, and that she wants to swim across the river first before walking any necessary distance along the opposite shoreline, at what course (in degrees) should she start swimming?
(The angle is measured from north, so 90 degrees is due east, meaning she swims directly across the river, and 135 degrees is due southeast, meaning she swims directly to her destination point.)
Lisa should start swimming at an angle of [tex]120^{\circ}[/tex] to reach her destination as quickly as possible.
Given:
The river is 1 mile wideThe end point is 1 mile south of the starting pointLisa's speed of walking is twice that of her speed of swimmingLisa wants to swim across the river first before walking the rest of the distance along the opposite shorelineTo find: The course (in degrees) at which she should start swimming so that she can reach the end point as quickly as possible
To solve this problem, we need to know the following:
Pythagoras theorem states that in a right angled triangle, the square of the length of hypotenuse is the sum of the squares of lengths of perpendicular and baseCosine of an angle is the ratio of base and hypotenuse in the right angled triangleA single variable function is minimized by a value for which, the first derivative of the function is zero and the second derivative of the function is positiveLet us assume that Lisa starts swimming at a course such that she needs to swim for 'x' miles to reach the opposite shore, as shown in the figure.
Labelling the points in the figure, we can say that,
AB = 1 mile (given)
BD = 1 mile (given)
AC = x miles (by our assumption)
It is clear that ABC forms a right angled triangle where,
Perpendicular: BC
Base: AB
Hypotenuse: AC
Using Pythagoras Theorem for triangle ABC, we have,
[tex](Hypotenuse)^{2} =(Perpendicular)^{2} +(Base)^{2}[/tex], which implies,
[tex](AC)^{2} =(BC)^{2} +(AB)^{2}[/tex]
Put AC = x, AB = 1 in the above equation to get,
[tex]x^{2} =(BC)^{2} +1^{2}[/tex]
[tex]x^{2} =(BC)^{2} +1[/tex]
[tex](BC)^{2}=x^{2} -1[/tex]
[tex]BC=\sqrt{x^{2} -1}[/tex]
From the figure, we can say that,
[tex]CD=BD-BC[/tex]
Put [tex]BC=\sqrt{x^{2} -1}[/tex] and [tex]BD=1[/tex] in the above equation to get,
[tex]CD=1-\sqrt{x^{2} -1}[/tex]
According to our assumption, Lisa swims the distance of AC and walks the distance of CD, that is, she swims a distance of [tex]x[/tex] miles and walks a distance of [tex]1-\sqrt{x^{2} -1}[/tex] miles.
Now, let us assume that Lisa's speed of swimming is [tex]k[/tex] miles/hour. It is given that Lisa's speed of walking is twice that of her speed of swimming. Then, accordingly, Lisa's speed of walking must be [tex]2k[/tex] miles/hour. We note that these speeds are constants for Lisa.
We know that,
[tex]Speed=\frac{Distance}{Time}[/tex]
Then,
[tex]Time=\frac{Distance}{Speed}[/tex]
This implies that,
Time spent by Lisa on swimming = [tex]\frac{x}{k}[/tex]
Similarly, time spent by Lisa on walking = [tex]\frac{1-\sqrt{x^{2} -1} }{2k}[/tex]
Then, total time taken by Lisa to travel the whole distance from the starting point to the end point is,
[tex]\frac{1-\sqrt{x^{2} -1} }{2k} +\frac{x}{k}[/tex]
[tex]\frac{1}{2k}( 1-\sqrt{x^{2} -1} +2x )[/tex]
Since Lisa wishes to get to the end point as quickly as possible, we must minimize the total time taken by her to travel the entire distance.
Total time taken: [tex]T=\frac{1}{2k}( 1-\sqrt{x^{2} -1} +2x )[/tex]
Differentiating with respect to 'x', we have,
[tex]T'=\frac{1}{2k}( -\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2} -1}} +2 )[/tex]
Differentiating with respect to 'x' again, we have,
[tex]T''=\frac{1}{2k(\sqrt{x^{2} -1})^{3}}[/tex]
Equating the first derivative to 0, we have,
[tex]\frac{1}{2k}( -\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2} -1}} +2 )=0[/tex]
[tex]-\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2} -1}} +2 =0[/tex]
[tex]\frac{x}{\sqrt{x^{2} -1}} =2[/tex]
[tex]2\sqrt{x^{2} -1}= x[/tex]
Squaring both sides,
[tex]4(x^{2} -1)= x^{2}[/tex]
[tex]4x^{2} -4= x^{2}[/tex]
[tex]3x^{2} =4[/tex]
[tex]x^{2} =\frac{4}{3}[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex]
Note that we assumed the positive square root for 'x' because 'x' denotes a distance which cannot be negative.
Put [tex]x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex] in the expression for second derivative to get,
[tex]T''=\frac{1}{2k(\sqrt{(\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} )^{2} -1})^{3}}[/tex]
[tex]T''=\frac{1}{2k(\sqrt{\frac{4}{3} -1})^{3}}[/tex]
[tex]T''=\frac{1}{2k(\sqrt{\frac{1}{3}})^{3}}>0[/tex]
The last expression is positive because 'k' denotes a speed which is always positive.
This implies that the obtained value [tex]x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex] minimizes the quantity of total time taken.
Now, from the figure, we can say that,
[tex]cos(\angle BAC)=\frac{AB}{AC}[/tex]
Put AC = x, AB = 1 in the above equation to get,
[tex]cos(\angle BAC)=\frac{1}{x}[/tex]
Put the obtained minimizing value, [tex]x=\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}}[/tex] in the above equation to get,
[tex]cos(\angle BAC)=\frac{1}{\frac{2}{\sqrt{3}} }[/tex]
[tex]cos(\angle BAC)=\frac{\sqrt{3}}{2 }[/tex]
[tex]cos(\angle BAC)=cos(30^{\circ})[/tex]
Then,
[tex]\angle BAC=30^{\circ}[/tex]
Since the angle is measured from the north, the required angle is, [tex]90^{\circ}+30^{\circ}=120^{\circ}[/tex]
Thus, Lisa should start swimming at an angle of [tex]120^{\circ}[/tex] to reach her destination as quickly as possible.

Which of the following statements best describes the relationship between
any point on an ellipse and each of its two foci?
A. The quotient of the distances to each focus equals a certain
constant.
B. The difference of the distances to each focus equals a certain
constant.
C. The sum of the distances to each focus equals a certain constant.
D. The product of the distances to each focus equals a certain
constant.
Answer:
C
Step-by-step explanation:
The sum of distances from any point on the ellipse to each foci equals a certain amount, no matter what point on the ellipse it starts from. The foci are on the major radius of the ellipse (the longer length of horizontal/vertical). The foci are of equal distance from the center, with one on each side.
If you wanted to find where the foci are using the major and minor radius, we can find that, representing the distance between the center and any foci as g,
g² = major radius² - minor radius². Then, the distance between the center and the foci is equal to g
What is the surface area of the cube, in square inches?
Answer:
The surface area of the cube is 648.96 sq in.
Step-by-step explanation:
This problem is made a lot easier by the fact that it's a cube.
So we first calculate the area of one of the faces. The length of the side of the side is 10.4 inches, and 10.4 * 10.4 = 100.16.
There are six faces, so we multiply the area of 1 face by 6. 100.16 * 6 = 648.96.
Therefore, the surface area of the cube is 648.96 sq inches.

A candy store owner wants to mix some candy costing $1.25 a pound
with some candy costing $1.45 a pound to make 50 pounds of candy
costing $1.30 a pound. How much of the $1.25 a pound candy should
she use?
The candy store owner should use 37.5 pounds of the candy costing $1.25 a pound.
Given:
Candy costing $1.25 a pound is to be mixed with candy costing $1.45 a poundThe resulting mixture should be 50 pounds of candyThe resulting mixture should cost $1.30 a poundTo find: The amount of candy costing $1.25 a pound that should be mixed
Let us assume that the resulting mixture should be made by mixing 'x' pounds of candy costing $1.25 a pound.
Since the total weight of the resulting mixture should be 50 pounds, 'x' pounds of candy costing $1.25 a pound should be mixed with '[tex]50-x[/tex]' pounds of candy costing $1.45 a pound.
Then, the resulting mixture contains 'x' pounds of candy costing $1.25 a pound and '[tex]50-x[/tex]' pounds of candy costing $1.45 a pound.
Accordingly, the total cost of the resulting mixture is [tex]1.25x+1.45(50-x)[/tex]
However, the resulting mixture should be 50 pounds and should cost $1.30 a pound. Accordingly, the total cost of the resulting mixture is [tex]1.30 \times 50[/tex]
Equating the total cost of the resulting mixture obtained in two ways, we get,
[tex]1.25x+1.45(50-x)=1.30 \times 50[/tex]
[tex]1.25x+72.5-1.45x=65[/tex]
[tex]0.2x=7.5[/tex]
[tex]x=\frac{7.5}{0.2}[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:
since the angles seem similar they're most likely to be the same but since its 3x and you have to find the value of x then we will do 3 x ?=30, which is 10. if you want to check there is one way, since the angle on a straight line is 180 you can do 180 - 30 =150 which will be the unknown value next to the given angle. Since the unknown angle is on the line with the 150 degree angle we can do 180 - 50 to get the unknown angle (3x) which is 30. So in conclusion x will be 10
Answer: x = 10
Step-by-step explanation:
The angles are voa which means vertically opposite angles which means they are conguerent and also equal

Step-by-step explanation:
Because if you were to out each fraction into a calculator you see that b,c, and d have a never ending decimal. The only fraction that does end in option A, therefore ur answer is option a
looking for the equation, slope, and y-intercept of: (1,-3) and (0,-1)
Answer:
Equation: y = -2x - 1
Slope: -2
Y intercept: -1
Step-by-step explanation:
First, find the slope using rise over run, (y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1):
(y2 - y1) / (x2 - x1)
(-1 + 3) / (0 - 1)
2 / -1
= -2
So, the slope is -2. Plug this and a point into slope intercept form, y = mx + b, and solve for b:
y = mx + b
-1 = -2(0) + b
-1 = 0 + b
-1 = b
So, the y intercept is -1. Create the equation by plugging in the slope and b into y = mx + b:
y = mx + b
y = -2x - 1
The equation of the line is y = -2x - 1.
Answer: y=-2x-1. Slope is -2 and y int. is -1.
Step-by-step explanation:
First, you need to find the slope by using the slope formula y2-y1/x2-x1. Plug in the x and y coordinates, which simplifies as -1-(-3)/0-1, and furthermore to 2/-1, or -2. The y intercept can be found by the second point, (0,-1). Therefore, the y int. is -1.
